I looked up the super quiet cpu cooler but nothing comes up since there is no company name with it? so I cannot check for reviews? I have changed the motherboard I plan to get to the saber one.

The sabertooth looks very nice but the P8Z77-V should offer the same performance for your intended use.

I was thinking the Sabertooth board for the extra cooling and the protection against dust making it even more low maintenance :)

and thanks wolv :)

I have the super Quiet cooler and it works well although I don't do anything that demanding on they CPU, I have never seen the temperature above 55 and it normally idles around 30 - 35 so I'm very happy with it.

I was also wondering about the CORSAIR CARBIDE SERIES™ 300R COMPACT GAMING CASE. I have watched some youtube vids and noticed its pretty small but manages to fit everything in just right but seem abit close? cooling wise. Not gunna miss the horrid fans with lights lol! :)

Yep looks like it. Thanks for the rep btw :)

Is that your final spec? It's really nice. The only thing I'll say is if you plan to add more HDDs (like 2 or more) or install some custom lighting in addition to SLI you could go with a 850W PSU. If not the 750W is fine.

Ineed, hopefully if I get paid(finally!) i'll be ordering this friday from PCS. Still wondering about switching motherboards though. I really don't want the wifi feature on the board above aswell as the board on the Sabertooth board making it easier to maintain and according to a review on youtube it's actually cooler with the two inbuild fans :). I don't plan on getting LED or extra drives but 1tb and 120gb ssd is more then enough room for me if anything too much :).

NP wolv :) you and keynes and other super active people deserve more then just rep though lol.

Well at the end of the day it's your rig so if you really want the Sabretooth go for it :) It's a really nice board too. Have a happy new year 2013 :D
